Board #294 | Playful Poppy

Oh, I love red when it doesn’t take itself too seriously. Cherry red. Poppy red. Paired with cream and a few touches of the palest pink, red is playful and cheerful, rather than overly dramatic. I imagined a winter wedding when creating this inspiration board, but I think this palette could easily be translated into a spring or summer wedding. The yarn-wrapped vase by Paul Lowe is a simple detail that adds so much texture and interest, and I think a yarn-wrapped bouquet stem would work here, too. A variety of fun patterns adds to the playfulness of this look.

Let me just say that those small cartons of milk are hard to come by now. I contacted so many dairies when I put together a milk & cookies theme party for my daughter where milk and cookies were the favor. I finally ended up with plastic bottles that had a vintage glass bottle look from Ronnybrook farms. But yeah – difficult to get the old mini cartons.
